DB Mackensie Alexander of Immokalee, FL said in his US Army Game arrival interview that Rutgers is his current favorite. "I would say Rutgers has an edge on everybody right now," Alexander told Rivals.com. "Clemson, I'd say they have an edge but with the new move (Harbison out, Reed in), it kind of made it steady. But the schools I named, they are all in the mix." Those schools would be Rutgers, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Auburn and Mississippi State along with Clemson and Texas A&M, the two schools he has visited. Alexander was once committed to Tennessee, and in late September he named Notre Dame as his favorite. A factor in his decision, said Alexander, is his desire to play in college with his brother Mackenro, a linebacker. They are fraternal twins born three minutes apart. Mackensie said Clemson, Rutgers, Tennessee and Auburn have told him they will take both. Alexander said he will take three more official visits in January and will probably make his decision on Signing Day.
